Thank God for Empty Classrooms and Glen Campbell Chapter Six
October 17th 2015
The sheer beauty of the place had me in a positive frame of mind and for once I was not thinking about all of my problems but instead taking the time to step away from reality and take time to enjoy this paradise that lay before me. This was our fifth day on the island and all we had done so far was lay on the beaches that the island had to offer and on our third night we had dressed up and gone into the hotels night club and danced until the small hours of the morning, I had watched Jensen quickly attach himself to woman after woman without thought or consequence but I just let him have a good time without saying anything and found myself talking and dancing the night away with another tourist named Tina.
“ So I see you are making nice with the ladies, switching sides?” Jensen said breaking me out of my thoughts as we sat on beach chairs at the far end of the beach just looking out at the ocean.
“ Don't bet on it and I could say the same thing about you, how many ladies have you been chummy with?”
“ I'm asking the questions here.” He said looking over at me with a smile on his face.
“ OK, OK.”
“ So?”
“ So what?”
“ Your lady friend?”
“ Tina.”
“ Yeah her, she's cute.”
“ She is pretty OK and did I mention that her sister is a certifiable nut job.”
“ What did she do?”
“ She embezzled money from her last job.”
“ Really?”
“ Yeah and she used to work for some big name musician, anyone you might know?”
“ I don't think so but then again I am not much of a gossip.” With that he turned to look at me, winked and I felt my whole face flush.
“ You are getting a little red there Jared, maybe you need to get out of the sun.” He said with a chuckle.
“ Yeah I think I will.” I said as I grabbed my towel and flung it over my shoulder.
“ You going to head back up to the room now?”
“ Yeah, I am a little drowsy from all the sun. Maybe I will give Jeff or Chris a call.”
“ Yeah Chris.” He did not sound at all pleased and I was not in the mood to inquire further.
“ Are you going to be out here for a little while longer?”
“ Not too long, I will see you in a few.”
“ OK.” As I turned away I had the strangest feeling that he was watching me.
“ With nothing left to do and my mood sombre enough, I made my way up to the hotel room and I did not expect anything as I inserted the key card and entered my room, maybe if I had I would not have been surprised too see what I saw. He jumped quickly and made a mad dash for the bathroom hurriedly closing the door behind him but the damage had been done and I had seen all that was out there to be seen.
I walked up to the door and lightly tapped on it.
“ Are you OK Jared?”
“ yeah.” His voice sounded strange and I thought I heard a bit of anxiety in his voice as well.
“ You sure?”
“ Yes!” I could understand his frustration after all, I knew that if it was me bent over on the floor with my ass out there for everyone to see, I would have been mortified. I moved away from the door and made my way out onto the balcony, five minutes later I heard the door open and his footsteps approach me.
“ I'm sorry I over reacted.”
“ It's alright, are you OK?”
“ Yeah, except for the carpet burn, but I will be OK.”
“ Let me see.”
“ It's OK Jensen.”
“ Let me see.” I said more forcefully.
This time he rolled up his shorts and showed me his knees.
“ Check in my bag, I should have some savlon cream in there.”
“ Jensen.”
“ Don't argue Jared, in by bags side pocket.” In less than two minutes he was back.
“ Sit down and let me dress it for you.” And before he could protest, I gently pushed him into the chair, sat across from him and placed his foot in my lap. As I started to apply the cream to his scraped skin, his face began to flush.
“ You OK?”
“ Yeah, I just... nothing.” He seemed lost for words and I was not about to further embarrass him by asking again.
For the exception of the scabbed portion, his skin felt soft to the touch and not for the first time I found myself wanting to touch it, and if he realized I was going above and beyond the call of duty he did not say anything.
“ Does that feel good?” I said before I could stop myself and Jared's eyes met mine in mid air, I held his gaze or maybe he held mine, I didn't know nor did I care. I found myself unwilling to be the one to let it go, not this time, and long after I had finished applying the cream I still had his foot in my lap.
Holy Shit was what I thought as we just sat there staring at each other, I could not believe that I had allowed myself to get into this situation. I was a fucking moron and should have just used my own baby oil.
After I had come up from the beach I found myself feeling hot and sticky and not in a good way so I decided to take a quick shower was in order, 15 minutes later I was stepping out of heaven and feeling refreshed. Looking around the bathroom I saw that my bottle of baby oil was down to it's last drop and even though I had the option of going without I decided to just make a quick trip to Jensen's room to borrow his, and Just as I bent down on the floor to dig it out of his bag, he chose that exact moment to walk through the door forcing me to scrape my knees making a narrow escape.
Now here he was staring at me and I him with my foot in his lap not saying anything nor giving any indication that his caressing was going to stop any time soon. I found myself unable to look away even though I knew that I should and even as his hand made it's way up my thigh, I knew that I should end it right here and now but I didn't and even when his hand made it's way into my boxers through my shorts and then onto my cock, I didn't stop him. How could I when this was all that I had ever wanted from him, would any of you have been brave enough to stop it, I didn't let my eyes leave his as he slowly stroked my cock and wished that this moment would never end.
I was so close, too close for comfort and all I could do to hold off a little longer was think unpleasant thoughts, but the fact that it was Jensen's hand against my cock outweighed any other thought and I exploded all over his hand. It was as if for a second we both seemed to be at a loss for words, no words could explain how I was feeling at this very moment, I was relieved, I was definitely ecstatic but I was also afraid. The deed had been done and no matter what I said from this point on it would not change that fact and in that instant I decided to wait it out, I would let him speak first then I would follow.
But he was not making it any easier for me, he remained silent, just choosing to stare at me instead, no emotion on his face and in that instant I thought that he thought that this was all a mistake and I was heartbroken. Finally after a few minutes of silence, he gently removed his hand from my boxers and out of my shorts, wiping it on a near by towel then without a word to me he removed my leg, got up and walked out of the hotel door without looking back.
October 18th 2015
I heard his door open and looked over at the clock on the night stand and it showed that is was 2:30 AM, I would be lying to myself if I said I had not been waiting up for him because the truth was that I had been. I was worried about him, scared that he would do something rash not knowing how to deal with this and I thought that I would have proffered it if he had just spit on me and called me names rather than just walking out, but knowing the real Jensen, I knew he would never do that especially to me, I was straining so hard to hear what was going on in the other room that I gave myself a headache.
I made my over to our adjoining bathroom and turned on the light, I began to dig through my toiletries bag hoping to find some pain killers but there was none there and in all of my frustration I threw the bag across the room hitting a shot glass as it landed and the glass fell shattering onto the floor.
“ Shit.” I cursed shutting off the light and heading back to bed, as I climbed in I heard a knock come from the adjoining room.
I didn't respond hoping that he would think I was asleep but then I realized that he must have heard the ruckus, so he knew I was not asleep, so I found a pair of jeans and a t shirt and quickly put them on as I slowly approached the door and opened it, stepping aside so that I was not directly in front of him.
“ Are you OK, I heard something break.”
“ Yeah, the glass in the bathroom fell, just my clumsiness kicking in I guess.” I could not tell in the darkness if he believed me or not.
“ You sure?”
“ Yep.”
“ Well good night then.”
“ Night.” I said as I quickly shut the door and bolted it. Only a few minutes in to sleep I heard the door knock again ever so gently, I dragged myself out of bed and with my eyes half closed made my over too the door and opened it.
“ What?” I asked, not looking at him.
He said nothing.
“ Come on Jensen, it's almost 3:15 in the morning and I am tired.”
Still nothing came from him and I finally had enough.
“ What the hell do you want?” I said finally looking at him just in time too see his face closing in on mine and before I knew it his lips had connected to mine in the darkness of the room. I had not expected this and it showed as I almost found myself falling to the ground and if it was not for his arms around my waist, I would have. His tongue met mine half way as I allowed him entry into my mouth, something that he took full advantage of, I could feel the heat of his body through all of my clothing and I wished that I had gone to bed naked.
“ Take them off.” I heard it but I didn't recognize immediately where it was coming from.
“ Take it all off.” He repeated more huskily than before and it was then I realized Jensen was telling me to strip.
His lips still held mine hostage and I tried in a fruitless attempt to kiss and strip at the same time, he must have gotten impatient for he pulled away from me and started to do all of the work himself, undoing my jeans then pulling them down and off along with my boxers and before I knew it I was naked and on my bed with Jensen's body on top of mine as his lips went to my neck and he started to nibble and even bite at my neck and before long, I found that my erection was getting in the way.
He noticed it too and looked up at me with a shy smile, I was not even aware that Jensen had a shy bone in his body but apparently he did, he leaned off of me long enough to take off his shirt and then his shorts and in no time he was back where I thought he belonged, his body pressed against mine, I could feel his cock rubbing up against mine and I knew then and there that I wanted this, that I wanted him.
“ Do it.” I panted out sounding like a needy bitch in heat.
“ What?” He huskily whispered back?”
“ You know.”
“ Tell me.”
“ Fuck me.”
“ What?”
“ Fuck me, isn't that why you came over?” By this time he was still nibbling on my neck but he stopped for a second to look me in the eye.
“ No.... I wanted to talk.”
“ Bullshit.”
“ No I really wanted to...” And on the verge of this becoming a serious talk, I pulled him back down to me, we could talk any time but just not right now, not when I was so close to getting what I want.
“ I don't care, just fuck me... please.”
“ Turn over onto your hands and knees.” I told him at his needy words and he did exactly as I asked his legs spread apart showing his hole which I quickly lubed up, when I was satisfied that he was stretched enough I shuffled closer to him as I put on the condom and a generous amount of lube on my cock which was rock hard by now, I lined up my cock to his entrance and pushed in.
I pushed in easily as my slick covered cock entered him to the hilt as I held on to his waist, god he is so tight I thought as my cock was squeezed my his ass muscles, I began to pull in and out as I fucked him slowly at first then his ass pushed back onto my cock as I fucked him a little faster. My cock slid in and out of him easily now as I held on to his waist to pull him back onto my cock every time I slid forward, I leaned back and watched as I slid in and out marvelling at the sight, it made me so hot that I wanted to see his face as I fucked him.
I pulled out, turned him around and lifted his legs into the air before pushing them to his chest as I sank my cock deeply into him once again, he grabbed his own cock in his fist and started to jack off as he watched me fucking him. I moved my arms in front of his legs, beside his chest and leaned over him, my thrusting in that position caused his whole body to move up and down the bed which had my head just a few inches from his.
“ Massage my cock Jay.” I whispered and I immediately felt him clenching down on my cock, his mouth was open and he held his breath trying not to cry out as I fucked him harder and faster. My balls were slapping against his ass with each thrust, my head held high in ecstasy as I lent over his supple body, fucking him with everything I had.
His head was pushed back into the pillow so I began to kiss and suck at his exposed neck forcing my cock deeper into him. He moaned as I hit his prostate and I pounded into him again and again, suddenly he clamped down on my cock, his whole body shook under me as he orgasmed.
My own cock was ready to explode after his climax and the intense tightening of his ass, I thrust in again and again as the bed shook with our movements until I felt that familiar build up of pressure and sensation shooting up my cock. I pushed into Jared forcefully causing him to cry out as an intense orgasm racked my body. My cock pulsed once, twice inside of the condom before shooting what felt like the entire Atlantic ocean into it. Pulse after pulse of pleasure racked my body as my cock twitched and jerked inside of Jared as I recovered from probably the best fuck of my life.
“ Are you OK?” He whispered as he pulled out while still nibbling on my neck.
“ Yeah... you?”
“ Yeah.” We were silent for a few minutes before he spoke.
“ Jared.”
“ Yeah.”
“ I don't know what to say.”
“ I don't either.”
“ But.”
“ But what?”
“ Shouldn't I say something?” If he had to ask then my suspicions were confirmed, that this really was just a roll in the hay for him.
“ No, it is not necessary.”
“ But.”
“ It's OK Jensen, just do one thing for me.”
“ What?”
“ Stay the night please.”
And he did not even hesitate as he said yes.
I tried to do the diplomatic thing and consider what he must have been going through during this morning after period but all I ended up doing was coming across as awkward, I had woken when he had sat up in bed that morning and hurriedly pulled on his clothes, I watched him through half asleep eyes hoping against all the odds that he would would lay back down and cuddle me like he had done the night before and once again I was greeted with disappointment, he instead took one look back at me and then made his way to the adjoining door opening it without looking back and then gently closing it.
It was now late morning and I had just had a shower and got dressed when I heard someone knocking on the door, when I opened it Jensen was standing on the other side.
“ Hi.” He greeted me timidly, not looking me in the eye.
“ Hey.”
“ I was going down for breakfast and wanted to know if you would like me to bring you something back?”
“ Oh.” Was my reply as we usually went down together. “ No that's OK, I will just go down with you.” He seemed a bit hesitant when I said that.
“ OK, well I am going to make a few calls to check our flight for tomorrow so I will meet you down stairs.” And even though I was ready to go I let it slide and agreed to meet him in a few minutes.
We sat across from each other eating breakfast but not saying anything, I noticed that his eyes were getting a heavy duty workout by avoiding mine.
“ So what time do we leave tomorrow?”
“ Huh.”
“ What time is the flight?”
“ Oh, uh.... I don't know.”
“ You didn't call did you?”
“ Yeah but I was thinking I would catch a flight back tonight, things with the album are not going so well.”
I did not hear any of that except for the part where he told me he was thinking of going back tonight and at that moment, diplomacy went out of the window.
“ Is this about last night?” His hand started to shake and the glass in it slipped from his fingers and spilled onto the table at my words. He grabbed his napkin and dabbed at it again avoiding looking at me.
“ Hey are you alright?” Came the voice of our waiter out of nowhere.
“ Yeah, just spilled my drink.”
“ Would you like another one?”
“ No thanks.” He said as he continued to dab the napkin on the table even though there was nothing there now.
“ Shit!” He suddenly hissed through his teeth as he threw the napkin on the table and getting up.
After that I did not see him for the rest of the day and had resorted to spending the day locked up in my room. I was woke up from my nap by a knock on the door and when I looked at my watch I saw it was just past six in the evening, when I opened the door Jensen stood there in a crisp white shirt and pants.
“ What's going on?”
“ I have us booked on a nine thirty flight tonight.”
“ What happened to the flights for tomorrow?” I said as I looked at my watch to figure out if I had enough time to pack.
“ I still have them and if you want to go back by yourself tomorrow, you can but I am leaving tonight.” And then I realized that I did not want to spend another minute on this island for in all of six days it managed to fuck up the relationship between my best friend and me.
“ No, I will be ready in half an hour, I just have to shower and call my ride.” He didn't even ask who I would be calling,he just told me that he would check us out and wait down stairs for me as he walked away, it was then that I knew I would also be asking Chris if I could stay with him for a while.
As I watched the sights along the roadside on the way to the airport I thought about last night, it had been something totally new to me and on a completely different experience from Daniel. For one it was not a one sided fuck as it had been with Daniel, I had actually given a damn about how Jared was feeling and whether or not I was hurting him.
Secondly, we had cuddled afterwards, something that I had never done with anyone not even the women I had slept with, it was all so new and yet I had felt the most comfortable that I had ever been in all of my life.
And then I woke up to the morning after, I felt awkward, unsure and scared, I didn't know what was expected of me and I had fled from the situation hoping to let it fall behind me as so many others had but then Jared had bought it up and I had taken my anger that I had no business having, out on him, I had spoiled what had started out as a dream vacation and turned it into one from hell.
Then without his consent I had booked two return tickets a day early, something that had cost a pretty penny but gave me an easy way out.
And keeping with the spirit of my selfish mentality, I refused to acknowledge that maybe he might have been feeling the same way as I had, confused and uncertain. As a matter of fact at the very back of my mind I was sure that he was hurting too, but as long as I kept that tit bit way back in my mind I would not have to think about it, not now at least.
October 21st 2015
She stood beside the bed pulling on her bra and then her shirt not looking at me, and if I were her I wouldn't look at me either.
“ I'm sorry.”
“ For what?”
“ For.... you know.... not being able to do this.” She leaned in and kissed me on the forehead before speaking.
“ It's OK Jensen, I don't think I am your type anyway.”
“ Meaning?” I asked, scared that she knew what I had actually been thinking about.
“ I see the leggy, long haired girls you are usually with, and as you can see I am not that.”
“ You are beautiful Maria, I never said that you wasn't.”
“ I know you didn't and I was not implying that you did, I just think that everyone has a type and I am just not it for you.”
“ Oh.”
“ Thanks for dinner though, it was nice.”
“ Any time.” And once again she leaned in but this time she kissed me on the lips.
“ See ya.” She said as she walked to the door and opened it.
“ Bye.” And just as fast as she had appeared , she was gone.
Which left me with a lot of doubt on my part about where my personal life was going, I mean if I couldn't get it up for a beautiful woman like her, who could I get it up for. Jared, the thought just popped up in my head, and I had to admit to myself that during the last three days since we got back, I had tried to convince myself that what we did had no bearing on my life but after this latest incident, I was not so sure. My mobile ringing brought me out of my thoughts as I leaned over to answer it.
“ Hello.”
“ Jensen.” I recognized the voice straight away and was not the least bit happy to be hearing from him.
“ How the hell did you get this number?”
“ I made a few phone calls.” Shit, what the hell was happening to privacy.
“ What the hell do you want Daniel?”
“ I want to see you.”
“ Why, we have nothing to say to each other.”
“ Is this how you treat all of your old friends?”
“ What can I do for you Daniel?”
“ Just meet me for drinks in the hotel lobby of the Neptune for twenty minutes, I want to see you.” And the way he said it bought back images of the night we had sex.
“ Why?”
“ Come on Jensen, for old times sake please.” Against my better judgement I agreed.
“ What time?”
“ This evening around seven thirty.”
“ OK, be there and don't be late.”
“ OK, I won't and Jensen.”
“ What?”
“ I miss you.” And with that he quickly hung up, Daniel was as slimy as they come and even though I knew this, I found myself still drawn to him, it was as if I were in debt to him. But nothing could be further from the truth, the only thing I owed to Daniel was the fucked up situation my life was in.
I tried to keep my eyes on the menu but it was impossible with Daniel's leg brushing up against mine every so often, I should have called him on it but I did not want to cause a scene and I Knew Daniel could and would cause a scene. The waiter came back around for the third time and I decided to just stick with a tuna salad and fries.
“ Since when do you eat anybody else's tuna salad except your mothers?” Daniel asked as soon as the waiter walked away.
“ Since now.” I didn't want to go down this road with him.
“ You wanted to talk so talk, I have not got all night.”
“ Right to the point, I like that about you.”
“ Yeah.” I replied dryly.
“ Yeah, how have you been Jensen, I haven't heard from you in a long while, what's with that, are we not friends any more?”
“ We were never friends.” His face fell for a moment before resuming his plastic smile.
“ Is that how you really want to play it?” He asked.
“ That's how you have been playing it, you think I don't see what you are trying to do. Coming up to my room and starting something, what kind of messed up shit was that?”
“ You was not complaining when we were fucking though were you.” He seemed to lose his composure as he spoke but only for a minute.
“ Whatever, the bottom line is that it was wrong, you had no right to take advantage of me when you knew I was fucked up.” Just the thought of what we had done had me ready to run for the toilet.
“ Don't blame it on the alcohol , you could have stopped me if you wanted to but you didn't”
“ The fuck I didn't, you damn well know that I was not into that with you.”
“ I didn't know shit and according to this you didn't either.” I didn't know what the hell he was talking about, he reached under the table and pulled out an envelope and handed it to me. As I tore open the envelope he spoke.
“ I don't think you are going to want your business exposed to the world like that Jensen, so just slow down and be careful.”
I looked around to make sure that no one was in seeing distance then I opened the envelope, reached inside and pulled out the contents.
“ What the fuck is this!” I said looking from the pictures to Daniel then back to the pictures.
“ What the fuck does it look like, just think of it as a keepsake from me to you.”
“ How the fuck....” I said as I looked at the pictures and shook my head trying to get rid of the images.
“ Don't you worry about that, that is not your biggest problem right now.”
“ What the fuck are you trying to do, what game are you trying to play with this shit.” I said as I was about to get up and leave but he grabbed my hand hard.
“ Sit the fuck down right now, this is my time so you sit down and shut up. I am tired of having to listen to your god damn voice day in and day out, I have got these pictures and I have the power to be able to ruin you.” I was so close to knocking him out but I held my temper in check.
“ What the fuck do you want?”
“ I want twenty percent of the sales from your new album in cash, upfront as soon as they cut you the check.”
I laughed, I had to, not even Christopher or Steve for that matter got twenty percent of anything.
“ What's so fucking funny?”
“ You really expect me to fork over my money to you!”
“ Yeah I do, unless you want every magazine and paper sporting those pictures next month.”
I was backed up in a corner and I did not know what the fuck to do, if Jared was here... and then it was as if lightning hit me, we had not talked since we came back, he probably thought I was an asshole, and then another thought hit me like shock, Jared's reluctance to come back to work for me, I had only asked him once about when he would be returning to work for me and he had said he thought it was to much work to have both Cardine and me as clients, I didn't think much of it until this moment.
“ I will be generous and give you a week to get back to me, one week Jensen that's it, don't think I won't do this.” And before I could respond he got up and walked out leaving me with a million questions running through my head.
On the drive home I thought this out some more in my head, did Jared know about the pictures, it seemed to much of a coincidence that he didn't want to work for me any more after finding out about Daniel and me, did Daniel threaten him too. I couldn't get those questions out of my head as I pulled over to the side of the road and made a phone call. Five minutes later I was back on the road and heading to Christian's place, I didn't care if Jared didn't want to see me, I was going to get to the bottom of this tonight if it was the last thing I did.
